It is specifically designed to handle comic books (both Western comics and manga) and supports a variety of container formats (including CBR, CBZ, CB7, CBT, LHA and PDF). It is written in Python using GTK through the PyGGObject bindings, and runs on both Linux and Windows.

 MComix is a fork of the [Comix project](http://comix.sourceforge.net/), and aims to add bug fixes and stability improvements after Comix development came to a halt in late 2009.

 Comix has originally been developed by [Pontus Ekberg](http://sourceforge.net/users/herrekberg), who unfortunately disappeared from the internet one day. Many thanks to him and everyone else who contributed translations, suggestions, bug reports and fixes to this project!

 Icons with a filename starting with "gimp" are taken from The GIMP, and icons with a filename starting with "tango" are taken from the Tango Desktop Project. Most other icons are made by Victor Castillejo, creator of the GNOME-Colors icon theme.
